mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the sad part about a life as a stoolie is this : that once mp blows your cover, your value to your owners decreases dramtically. and while you had been lured into the life with promises of superspydom, well... you gotta do the work such as it is. whether you think yourself better than that or not.

mircea_popescu: the old wiki is too fouled by the likes of mike hearn, luke jr and the rest of the tools to be much use anymore
rithm: like a treasure hunt
mircea_popescu: rithm you can just use the ba wiki entry. it's the cannonical response anwyay

mircea_popescu: what happens at night when you've been away from your wife for a long time
cr_zoidberg: FabianB: "dev bounties is 1%" - yes, we have daily paid with about 1% of emission, but this inclome depends of miner votes. they can reduce our earings if they don't like our work for example
mircea_popescu: fluffypony i imagine in the not so distant future one'll be able to make a living helping people present themselves well here.
mircea_popescu: cr_zoidberg don't be vague, be aggressive. what, specifically, is worth the mention on that lot of inovations ?
assbot: 'Freedom Flotilla II' set to sail for Gaza from Turkey | JPost | Israel News
cr_zoidberg: mircea_popescu: Boolberry - it's anonymus cryptocurrency, originally based on cryptonote technology but with a lot of innovations.

fluffypony: rithm: you're that cool
rithm: cr_zoidberg did you send the imgur link of the shoeonhead.jpg selfie to gribble?
cr_zoidberg: sorry, had troubles with irc client. hello to all, fluffypony, hello!
rithm: fluffypony: i'll forge those documents
fluffypony: rithm: only if you've paid your Tor Tax and have your tax clearance certificate for it
the20year: No, the investors are still an asset - they're the reason the business has flourished. The liability right now is interent trolls
mircea_popescu: fluffypony doh, what's to be expected there.
the20year: I'm shocked that both IPOs went as well as they did, but through both of them at the $4/share range, it gave us sufficient capital to buy the 8 properties we wanted, and build the business to viability
assbot: Mike Hearn proposes to build vulnerable censorship mechanism into Tor, opposes a fix for hidden service deanonymization, on Tor mailing list : Bitcoin
mircea_popescu: anyway, so what's the takehome here, banks are now warm enough that the investors are mostly a liability or what ?
rithm: down with tor!
mircea_popescu: the20year the unexplained part is how people that weren't buying at 30ish one week bought at 75ish the next, and then sold back down to 40ish the week after that.
the20year: Now we're at a point where we really don't need new investment, the business is bringing in upwards of $6k/mo in revenues with $8k/mo on the near horizon, AND banks are getting very warm to us
fluffypony: cryptostocks has the best verification system
the20year: I can understand the greif with the .0055 and .0075 IPOs within two months, and they were to meet a very specific goal - keep my employees with jobs till we were able to partner with a bank, or maintain sufficient cashflow to keep my employees in houses
fluffypony: investors would just gettrust and talk to people in their L1 or L2 trust
mircea_popescu: that double price week of ipo thing you had going is definitely problematic, as far as these things go. but anyway, im too lazy to dig up the actual threads.
fluffypony: this shit would unequivocably be solved with the WoT
chetty: easy to see how you would think of investment that way if you live in usa
the20year: That's the logic, and they;re taking the stance that all investments are scams
mircea_popescu: the20year the logic would be that they want to protect the people who aren't investors yet not the ones that already bit it.
the20year: and like I said, and they didn't care - if either of our companies are fined by the SEC, or we start racking up major laywer bills, it comes out of shareholder money which is who they say they're gonna protect
fluffypony: the20year: that sounds like someone threatening to report a renter on AirBNB to their landlord
mircea_popescu: isn't lambchop like the last remaining voice of sanity there ?
the20year: the problem is they say they're gonna report both of us to the SEC
the20year: we had one of our top 10% investors already dump his shares, and it seems to be based on what lambcop or someone else said
the20year: that's a very real possibility too
mike_c: or, they are havelol pump/dump/crash/repeat scamsters trying to crash RENT?
fluffypony: I only stumbled on it today
the20year: Your guess is as a good as mine , i guess they assume that him and I are both 100% fraudsters and want to prevent anyone from investing in either of us as the assumption is that we will take all their money
fluffypony: the20year: what's up with that anti-Benny thread?
jurov: http://boolberry.com/files/emission.png this is completely off
the20year: who are you tailing mircea_popescu?
mircea_popescu: everyone's stuck selling to the government, let's just hope government can keep paying everyone for their golden toilets. forever.
mircea_popescu: so if you add it all up, 15*24 + 50 = 410. which whatever, one could round a bit, but not all the way to 300 * 24 + 1000 = 8200 for chrissakes. so basically, this guy just priced himself way, way, way the fuck out of the market, and then they wonder why nonsense like uber is successful. well... it's successful because trying to add 2000% padding on your cost structure will never fly and can never fly.
mircea_popescu: this is going to be the fucking end of the us, i swear. talk to guy running a private eye business for a project, he wants 1k upfront and 300 an hour for three investigators in two cars. meanwile, car rentals are still 30 to 50 a day (and you should get a fucking rebate if yu're in the business) and grunts are still happy to make 15 an hour - really, lots of phd kids can't even get the 15 and work at starbucks for 11.2
jurov: fluffypony his introduction was pretty tame, i don't see any problem here
jurov: dingleberry comes to mind
mircea_popescu: cr_zoidberg that'd be the answer to "where".
the20year: I was gonna invite everyone here to the rentalstarter Aug 1st conference call
cr_zoidberg: I would love to tell you more about Boolberry if you're interested. Thank you.
cr_zoidberg: Hello, I'm known as zoidberg and I'm a core developer of project Boolberry. I heard about this channel via Bitcrea and Matic Kocevar. We are currently searching for support opportunities for Boolberry. We are the most advanced anonymous cryptocurrency to date, a modified and improved version of CryptoNote. Here's a few presentations we recetly released:
mircea_popescu: you must be doing something wrong but short of having someone physically there to try it out i dunno how to find it
the20year: i still can't comprehend this
mircea_popescu: !up the20year
mike_c: selling at 597? crazy traders.
mircea_popescu: fucking posers these people, to the degree they've entirely forgotten they're posers.
mircea_popescu: lol what the fuck, the economist is supposed to work like b-a now ?
mircea_popescu: throughout industry, maybe if they gave us more information, a reader would offer to hire her.
mircea_popescu: How much do you want to bet that her two degrees aren’t in Materials Science and Genetic Engineering? By not telling us what she studied, the article inoculates itself (and her) against the completely understandable response of “Maybe she should have studied something marketable.” Tell me, after reading the article, do you know what job was Ms. Ulldemolins looking for? The Economist is read by influential people
mircea_popescu: Let’s get to the facts. The only fact present in that introduction is that her two degrees are worthless. I mean that quite literally, the market has chosen to place no value on someone with those two degrees. And how do I know this? Because the article doesn’t tell us what degrees she has.
mircea_popescu: so if behaviour a is common in A and b in B, and a conveys 90% less germs than b, then germs are 90% less of a problem in B than A.
mircea_popescu: there's this point in anthropology proposing that behaviours emergent in groups are reflective of the survival fit those same behaviours entail.
chetty: wonder what they thionk of the argentine kiss
assbot: Fist bumps relay 90 percent less germs than handshakes: study| Reuters
mthreat: most important news of the day: http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/07/28/us-usa-fistbump-idUSKBN0FX1Q820140728
mircea_popescu: sounds like a literate vor explaining the bаша собственная тюрьма point.
chetty: asciilifeform, great piece, will is indeed the key
asciilifeform: the original piece was, largely, about escape from thebezzle
mircea_popescu: im not exactly known for trying to meet people half way.
asciilifeform: results - and from this comes strength; the fight now turns, from a draining, futile floundering - to a merry, wrathful clobbering of a dying vermin, who with us - men - has nothing whatsoever in common. But it all begins - with nonparticipation.' (Беркем аль Атоми, articles. translation mine.) ☟︎
asciilifeform: sheath, you have traded places with the *pederasti* - now you are sighted, and they are blind. Now you no longer struggle in the darkness with something foggy and omnipresent, which softly absorbs every blow - instead, you can now clearly make out a pathetic piece of shit, which has smeared itself over the most important part - the eyes - of a large and powerful man. You can now deal blows, directly seeing the ☟︎
asciilifeform: 'Learn not to participate - to the point of utter impossibility of meeting the enemy 'half-way' - and you will see that inside there lay a very useful mindfuck: in learning to 'nonparticipate,' in fact you drew out your *will* from its scabbard - to which it seemed so securely riveted by your upbringing. The appearance of *your will* changes everything and forever. With your own will slipped into your boot knife ☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎
jurov: pogakuofie: try #bitcoin-otc first .
mircea_popescu: this is bitcoin-assets, the nerve center of bitcoin, the core of the internet.
fluffypony looks down at his Bitcoin-Assets t-shirt
mircea_popescu: ah great bitcoin-assets, thy enigmatic walls so mighty, thy crenelated porticuli so hidden in plain sight behind a flash of blinding light. how well do you protect thy fruit, how pleasant warmth to be within thy belly, what delight.
assbot: [20:49] <carderplay> !up? [20:50] <jurov> sry you're too derpy [20:50] <carder - Pastebin.com
mircea_popescu: mike_c this because you don't read trilema, it's discussed (in passing) :P
mircea_popescu: how do you suppose the brave new world works ?
